“Paul Blart: Mall Cop” is one of the funniest films I’ve seen in a long time. If you missed it when it was out, now’s your chance to see it on DVD. The movie stars Kevin James as an “out of shape” security guard who works in a New Jersey shopping mall. Blart wants to […]

There have been a lot of dog movies in recent months, including “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”, “Bolt” , “Marley and Me” and “Hotel For Dogs”, which is just out on video. The movie is about a brother and sister who are living with foster-parents in a new city. When their dog runs away they go looking […]

“Bedtime Stories” was Disney’s 2008’s live-action family film for the holidays but it didn’t duplicate the success of 2007’s “Enchanted.” Adam Sandler is the hero of “Bedtime Stories”. He plays Skeeter, a maintenance worker who dreams of running the hotel that his father once owned. His sister, played by a very thin Courtney Cox, asks […]

Over the years movie studios have marketed films to families that weren’t true “family films”. The worst example of that from 2008 was”Marley and Me”, which is now out on DVD and the stduo is doing the same thing. The movie is adapted from the very popular book. Owen Wilson stars as John Grogan, a […]

“The Tale of Despereaux” was on my list of favorite animated films of 2008. It’s is based on the award-winning book by Kate DiCamillo. I read the book and really enjoyed it, but I like the movie version even more. Matthew Broderick voices Despereaux, a mouse who is different from all of the other mice […]

It was one of the worst animated movies of 2008. No wonder they waited so long to put it out on DVD. “Delgo” is a computer-generated fantasy about a teenage boy, named Delgo, who lives on a planet where the two groups of creatures who live there are fighting each other. He and a Princess […]

“Bolt” was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film and I think it should have won. Bolt is a dog, who is the star of a popular crime/action TV show. But he thinks the show is real-life…so when he leaves the set and accidentally gets shipped from Hollywood to New York City…Bolt has […]

“Madagascar” (2005) was one of the best animated movies of that year. “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” is not as good as the original because, for one thing, it’s a little too serious. Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman, and the rest of the characters from the original, return in this highly anticipated sequel. The story begins […]

Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” first came out in 1993. It’s back in theaters right now…re-released by Disney for the third-straight year…in 3-D. But only for one more week. The story centers around the skeleton “Jack“…who is the King of Halloweentown. He’s a great king…very scary…but he is bored doing the same things every […]

In just a little over two years, “High School Musical” has become a worldwide sensation. After two Disney Channel movies, H.S.M. hit the big screen in 2008 and “3”, which is new on DVD, is clearly the best of the three. All the popular characters (and actors) are back. In the story, they’re all seniors […]
